Water Quality Report

The City of Carbondale is proud of its excellent finished water quality and, we are committed. This report summarizes the quality of water we provided last year, including details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies.

The City is pleased to report the water delivered to your home or business complied with, or was better than, all state and federal drinking water requirements. View the most recent water quality report (PDF).

We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to call and schedule a tour or meeting. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water system, please contact the Water Operations Manager Tony Harrison.
